Reddit client Baconit 2.5 for Windows Phone now available

Baconit version 2.5 is now available on the Windows Phone Store, which we recently took a look at. The app is a popular Reddit client on the platform, and one we highly recommend should you find yourself glued to the depths of Reddit for hours on end. It's the premium experience for browsing the topics available on the main site.

So what's new in 2.5 (Windows Phone 8 only)?

Lock screen wallpaper from any subreddit

Lock screen notifications

New live tiles for Windows Phone 8

Tap + Send support

New social network sharing

New animations

Rapid resume

High resolution images

Fixes to flip view to use less memory and have better performance

Completely rewritten back end which improves performance of entire app

Live tiles don't seem to work for me and its crashed a couple of times using the gallery view. It is faster but those are the issues in having with it. The live tile bug is a new one specific to this update for me anyways.

The app is smart and takes advantage of what your color you're using system wide. So if your Start screen has the dark background you'll see a dark Baconit, to get a light background in Baconit you'll need to change your phones background to light. NIfty huh?
